I'm a senior in a private school. I have to agree with what a few of you are saying. I hate the school phone and blocking system because I want to be able to go and fool around on facebook and twitter. However, I am here to learn. I can go and fool around at home or whatever. If I was really interested in not being an epic fail at life, I'd stay off of those websites while I was at school. The schools are just being helpful. As for cell phones, texting is the only problem. In case of emergency, you're not going to text 911. So I don't think that it's that much of a problem. :)

I'm in high school and have a spare as a class so what are we supposed to do if we don't have any homework or tests to study for? You can't go on anything. Personally I think this is a form of censorship. I mean I've down projects where I can't even log onto the school computer to look up information. Personally I think the school boards stupid if they expect us to learn all the dangers of drugs in health or to do projects on wars in our history and when you go to look them up they are blocked because of subject matter.

Sometimes I have nothing to do during my spare so why can't I go on to my facebook? It's not us wasting the teachers time because we should be doing it on are own time its the fact that sometimes we do have nothing to do. Maybe you haven't been in school for a while but trust me I do listen in class, I find them interesting but come on. Censorship? This is stupid.

Ugh.
I'm at school trying to just use google, and that's even blocked.
What's the point of being in a computer science class if we can't make our required websites at the school?
It's stupid and I hate it.

As a student at a collage in Australia I find it very unfair trying to access websites and finding them blocked in my free time. I bring my own laptop and find that I can't play games, talk to friends or even look up websites that are considered to be based on things they aren't, so I find myself bored just sitting, looking for tips on how to get around it.....

With the porn issue, I know from experience that If you are looking for porn ya gonna find it one way or another and It couldn't hurt if they find out what it looks like to have sex, I was extremely curious when i was younger and well, Google helped me out.

Well nice blog ya got set up, more power to ya

Woooooooooow. You guys think it's bad parenting to show him how to get around the system????First of all, ALL of my computer classes are so boring that i finish within 5 minutes and my teacher then tells me to wait until the bell rings 1 hr and 25 min later!!!
If they really care about getting us off sites that we get on when we have NOTHING to do then they would do a better job.

It's easy for any adult to say that they think it's alright for wikipedia and other useful websites to be blocked- but as a high school student, it's not right.
I'm on my school's newspaper and want to write interesting stories that the student body would want to invest time in reading, but with resources cut off because of the many, many websites that are blocked, and because there are students who don't have computers at home, student's grades can suffer.
I mean, for heaven's sake: sanrio.com, the company that created hellokitty, is blocked on the very computer I'm on right now, as well as barbie.com! Does that make any sense at all? I don't forsee Matel putting up some hot barbie porn on their website anytime soon.
On top of all this, the reason school's started blocking pages like myspace and facebook anyways was because it's "dangerous". I can tell you that more so than not, when girls are raped by someone who they met on myspace, or a 12 year old is kidnapped because he or she gave too much information out on myspace, it's the victim's own fault. Go to google, do some research, and see for yourself- molestors don't automatically go to a young girl's myspace and telepathically know where she lives- in some cases, girls have GIVEN these men personal information and FLIRTED with them in messages.
How about instead of blocking kids off from these pages (which also goes against the first amendment), they teach us to not give out information that could potentially put us in harm's way?
From a student's perspective, all I have left to say is that it pisses me off when faculty go to an unnecessary extent to feel as though they have more control- especially when in less than two years I'm going off to college and will have only learned that at my high school everything was blocked- not precautions to avoid dangers that they're supposedly trying to prevent.

Jonathan: most of the great entrepreneurs I know broke the rules.

As for knowing you're right. Keep believing that and see where you go. Our educational system is one of the worst in the world and you all are asking me to abide by it? Sigh.
